Powerful Web Applications

What is Ruby and Rails ?

Rails is a framework created with the help of the Ruby programming language that is designed specially for the development of database-driven applications, using Ruby functional programming, Ruby GUI programming, Ruby meta programming. Ruby development and Ruby programming changed the vision of programming as a tiresome and complicated process that takes years to master, to being a development tool that’s fun and simple to use. Ruby on Rails development’s reputation of fast and easy framework contributes greatly to the constant growth in its popularity.

Features that Rails framework boasts:

Simple and Time-Saving: An application built with Java will require at least several days while creating even complex Ruby programming is much easier and faster. Almost all data-driven web sites have the same set of common parameters. With Ruby development on Rails you can take advantage of this fact and focus your attention on developing specific application logic instead of writing the code for interaction with the database. Thus you can easily create a weblog in less than an hour. It’s not just that it only takes a little time to create a web application with Ruby and Rails, but also it just as quick to learn it. You can get down to work almost without any initial skills and develop web application using considerably smaller amount of code than you would need with other languages.

Logical and Consistent: The Rails framework is fairly intuitive. The code in Ruby on Rails is designed to be as simple to read as a text in English, so you can write an application without having to employ complicated syntax. This enhances the productivity and lessens the errors in programming process. The simple set rules and self-managing options contribute greatly in reducing the development burden. The Model-View-Controller pattern that Rails development follows, allows logical division of the application into three layers, which makes initial programming easier and updates quicker to implement.

However, using a relatively new framework for the development of your web applications can entail a certain inconvenience. Any new technologies are considered to be unpredictable and immature. We can assume that it’s not the case of Rails, although you should still consider this fact before implementing this framework.

You may also fail to find a web host that supports Ruby on Rails, as not all of them do. Another shortcoming that proceeds from the Rails development novelty is that you may have to get acquainted to new features and components that can be adjusted to it quite often. Old languages already have standard set of practices and the Internet offers many tutorials and assistance for those who program with Java or ASP. However, you can always get a useful piece of advice from numerous programmers employing Ruby on Rails.

Ruby programming can be successfully used for:

• Data storage processing
• E-commerce applications
• Statistics reports
• Management systems development
• Community sites
• Content management systems
